Heute nochmal schnell den Dwarf 3 auf die frostige Wiese gestellt. Während wir am Feuer saßen nahm Space Gimli nach anfänglichen Kalibrierungsproblemen 2 1/2 Stunden verwertbares Bildmaterial von Messier 33 der Dreiecksgalaxie auf. Das ist der Stack aus dem Dwarf, imm Januar beschäftige ich mich dann nochmal damit, die Bilder händische zu stacken, da lässt sich an Details bestimmt noch etwas raus holen. Gut zu wissen, dass der Dwarf auch bei -8 Grad liefert.

Learning heute: auch die Bodenplatte des Dwarf sollte mit dem Punkt nach oben ausgerichtet sein. Wenn man das versäumt (im Dunklen in der Tat sehr leicht möglich) -> Kalibrierungsprobleme. 😄

It has been cloudy and raining for a while around here in Northern California. Finally a clear night to break out the Odyssey Pro and the s59. Starting with some observations of - .

That's very good. I've had explained to me that M33 has a spread out and low surface brightness, explaining my difficulties in trying to observe it in the past.

Here is a photo of #M33 I produced by stacking images from the #MicroObservatory archive. It's a more difficult target than you might suspect.

Photo 1: Pacman Nebula (NGC 281)
Captured with a DWARF 3 smart telescope from Tennessee skies, this image reveals the Pacman Nebula’s glowing clouds of hydrogen and dark dust lanes devouring starlight like its pixelated namesake. The nebula sits about 9,200 light-years away in Cassiopeia and is a stellar nursery where new suns ignite amid cosmic chaos. The black "mouth" cutting through the red haze is a dense molecular cloud silhouetted against ionized gas—proof the universe has both beauty and bite.

Photo 2: Triangulum Galaxy (M33)
Captured with a DWARF 2 telescope, this shot of the Triangulum Galaxy—our Local Group neighbor about 2.7 million light-years away—shows its faint spiral arms swirling through a sea of stars. The pale green glow reveals hydrogen regions where new stars are born, while the galaxy’s subtle rotation hints at its cosmic dance with the Andromeda and Milky Way galaxies. Even from our tiny vantage point, this spiral whispers: everything spins, everything changes, everything burns bright before fading.

This morning, as I emerge from a week of HMPV (a respiratory illness), I have an unusual (for me) treat.

Last night, while I slept, I had my #Dwarf3 up on the patio roof just outside the door to the games room I am isolating in. The games room is elevated, so the patio roof is at eye level. This makes it perfect for putting the telescope on, and then crawling into bed. The downside is that the field of view is quite limited, as the games room roof overhangs the patio roof by a goodly amount.

But the view to the North and East is not bad. And it turns out that, while Andromeda is blocked by the houses next door, #M33 is not.

Now here in Perth, it does not get very far above the horizon at the best of times, but last night I managed to snag an hour and a half of it.

(Edited to include what I've been sick with.)

So here we are: The #TriangulumGalaxy , Dwarf3 #SmartTelescope . Postprocessed in the #DwarfLab #StellarStudio, #Snapseed, and #GooglePhotos

An oval-shaped slightly reddish galaxy fills the central 1/3 of the frame. Within the oval two brighter arms can be seen. In the corners are captions giving the device, date of shooting, exposure time, author, and the name of the target.

Meet the neighbours. Just a quick little stack of the Triangulum Galaxy M 33 under the glorious skies of the Okie-Tex Star Party. #astrophotography #seestar #m33

A quick shot of the Triangulum Galaxy M33. A longer exposure later in the year should do it more justice. #astrophotography #seestar #M33
